Almost went to the wcec opener since I had nothing going on. I think the snow was a good sign to stay home

[straight6pwr]

lolol that was today?

[rampelsauce]

Yeah, something possessed me to lay in the snow and rip my cat out and build a header back exhaust for the motor I'm pulling out soon.  Haven't tig welded in a minute, maybe it was that.

For those of you who are watching GoT, we’ve made it.

game of thrones typical episode:

someone dies, boobs, gay scene, dragon, sword noises.

its funny what happens if you just add a 100 million dollar budget to a soap opera.

Congrats @suspenceful

Jk, I would be interested to see how fast Spence's 135 is in the 1/4 though. I live in a world where a 15 second car feels fast.

LOL. I consistently trapped 131-132mph last year. I have a few improvements I'm making the car this year to make it more efficient, so I should see my ET drop. Not sure if the MPH will go up or not.

Anyone have a enclosed trailer I could rent/ use this Saturday (Tomorrow)?

[Jdesign]

Never mind guys, I just used A LOT of straps, shrink wrap, and misc road debris as I made my way back home to secure the load. LOL.

It was an adventure to say the least.

NOW, does anyone want/need to put flooring in their shop or garage space? I have a little extra. 17,000 square feet extra to be exact.

Im quite proud of the dually. She didn't skip a beat the entire 6 hour trip, and I got an average of 19 MPG!

[straight6pwr]

what kind of flooring is that?

Possibly! I was thinking about painting my new garage floor but if that stuff is heavy duty shit and wouldn't get all melty from grinding and Welding I might be interested in some.

[Boris3]

Wow, that's a load!!! 17,000 extra???

Are the seams tight enough on the smooth to keep fluid spills from getting underneath the tiles?

Did you get a killer wholesale bulk price on these? Common pricing online is around $3/ft2.

IDK about the fluids yet. I have yet to lay them out, but they snap very tightly together. 

I got a deal because the guy didn't want to sell sections, so I had to buy all of it.

[GB-335xiCoupe]

Damn, I epoxied my floor last year. Otherwise I would have been interested.

Its technically a gym floor application, but unless you park your steam roller in your garage everynight, it should work perfect for a workbench or a car. I plan on installing most of it this weekend.

I tried to capture the color. Its a very light blue, almost grey. I have a basic harbor freight 5mil glove on, one has my concrete floor behind it, the other my white truck.
